♥Mama of the Littles♥

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

A few months back (I know, Blog Bash 2011 really set me back on my reviews), while I was just learning about wool covers and fitted diapers, I contacted Thirsties Diapers to inquire about their Duo Fab Fitteds. Thirsties generously sent me their Duo Fab Fitted Diaper in Ocean blue, size 2, and two hemp inserts for review.
This is what I received:

Here is a picture of the diaper and hemp inserts after taking off the adorable ribbon (their products always arrive so nicely packaged)

It was love at first site. I could not believe how soft both the hemp inserts and the diaper were!
I mean, super, silky soft! Most hemp inserts are a bit rough, and if lined dried, they get hard and stiff. These hemp inserts felt soft and pliable (note they still needed to be prepped)!
I was unsnapping the diaper and noticed that there was a rip in the fabric surrounding one of the snaps!

I e-mailed Thirsties and they immediately sent another one out. Whats more impressive, is that I was told that Thirsties has their defective diapers fixed and then they donate them to mother's in need! How awesome is that! What a way to "pay it forward."
Thirsties is a great company. This is the second review I have been privileged to do for them. I have also reviewed their duo wrap diapers and hemp prefolds. That review can be seen here!
You know what (in my opinion) makes this diaper so unique? Is the fact that there is a 'tunnel' on the inside of this diaper which allows you to add an extra insert to increase the absorbency!

This is where the hemp inserts come in!
My plan for this diaper was to use it on my 1 yo son at night, with a wool cover over top!
My plan was a success! This diaper works perfectly at night. I have used it on both boys during the day and at night. I have used it on my 3 yo heavy wetter at night with a wool cover, and no leaks!
This is the diaper on my 1 yo:

Don't you just love how vibrant that blue is? This diaper fits him really well on the middle setting!
Here is the diaper under a Tiny Tush wool cover:

I really LOVE this diaper. It is so super soft, really absorbent and just an all around perfect fitted diaper!
(The following information taken from the Thirsties website)
"The internal soaker is composed of spongy microfiber terry that can absorb up to seven times its weight in liquid! A maximum absorbency of 18 oz. makes this diaper appropriate for both light and heavy wetters alike. There is a tunnel behind the soaker which allows for stuffing additional absorbency, and for better washing and quicker drying."
How awesome is that? This diaper really does soak it all up. I love the fact too that you can add one of their hemp inserts for extra protection!

I visited Thirsties website and I really like the Duo Fab Fitted in Ocean Blue. I'm new to cloth and still trying to get into it, but with a heavy wetter, I need leak protection, plus it's so cute! - Entry 2
